Tunisia formally began working as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the period 2020-2021, announced the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a declaration.
It added that Tunisia has established a set of priorities and imperative choices within the structure of its non-permanent membership in the Security Council.
They are focused largely on matters of conflict prevention and peaceful settlement to strengthen sustainable peace, heighten the assistance of women and youth in these efforts, and fight terrorism, reported the TAP Agency.
“Tunisia, which had previously served as non-permanent member of this council on three occasions (1959-1960, 1980-1981 and 2000-2001) “will work to defend the unified positions taken on various issues related to the Arab and African spaces, foremost of which are the Palestinian issue and the situation in Libya,” the statement added.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced Tunisia would save no effort, based on the principles of its foreign policy and a commitment to the goals and principles of the United Nations, to actively participate to the search for peaceful and lasting solutions to the various issues on the agenda of the Security Council.
